What you have to work with
The first thing to look at is what you have to work with for your walk-in robe. This includes making a budget and measuring how much space you have available. You don't want to put in the work of designing a walk-in robe only to find that it won't fit or is too expensive. Accuracy is crucial in this step since a mistake could ruin all of your hard work. It's a good idea to double-check your measurements to minimise the chance of a mistake. For budgeting, you need to do research on the cost of materials and get quotes on designing and building a custom walk-in robe. Once you have done this preparation, you can start designing your walk-in robe.
What you are storing
Next, you'll need to think about what you want to store in your walk-in robe. There are various ways to store things in a walk-in robe, and knowing what you are storing will ensure that everything can be stored how you want it. Consider how many drawers, shelves, hanging rails, and other features you will need for everything to be in its place. You'll also want to think about what you want to show off. As an example, if you have a collection of designer jackets, you'll need to have an easily-visible, spacious place to hang them. Depending on what you are storing, there will be countless other things to consider. The main point is that walk-in robes should be fit-for-purpose and designed to meet your storage needs.
How you want it to look
When designing a walk-in robe, you also need to consider how you want it to look. Not only is aesthetic taste subjective, but you also have to consider how it fits in the context of your home. Even if your walk-in robe looks good on its own, it will look disjointed if it doesn't match the rest of the home. Consider looking at existing walk-in robes online and pick out ones that you like or that match your home. Using these, you can isolate design elements that you want to incorporate into your walk-in robe design. You can take as much or as little from each as you want; the point is to come up with a starting point. From there, considering the things discussed in the above paragraphs, you can arrange these design elements in a way that suits your needs and tastes. You may have to modify some things so that they match. Even if you are taking ideas from existing designs, you don't want them to look cobbled together. If you find that certain parts don't work together, swap them out. By modifying, moving and swapping things around, eventually, you will land on a design that you are happy with. The clearer your design is, the easier it will be for a professional to design and create your ideal walk-in robe.
